The lawyer of a man charged after his dog allegedly caused the death of a newborn baby is hoping police will drop their prosecution.
The man, in his 20s, reappeared in the Hamilton District Court today on a charge of owning a dog which caused death or serious injury to a one-day-old baby in Hamilton on October 25 last year.
The man's lawyer, Charles Bean, entered a not guilty plea to the charge.
